Southeast Bank PLC has created financial history by launching Bangladesh’s first-ever Visa Student Credit Card. The special card was launched in a big function at the Sheraton Dhaka, which opened new doors for the young learners.
It is meant for the students of undergraduate and post-graduate levels of recognised universities. The card comes with a compulsory parental guarantee, aimed at developing responsible credit habits from a young age. Students can now manage their own personal expenses, and parents can still keep an eye on their first financial journey.
Who can apply for the Student Credit Card in Bangladesh?
This is a card that college students can get easily. Eligibility: The Candidate must be a Bangladeshi citizen by birth and a minimum of 18 years of age. You are currently enrolled in a recognised university and can easily prove it with a valid student ID or official admission documents. The most attractive feature of this card is that students do not need to show any income tax return proof for credit limits up to Tk 2 lakh. This helps make the application process easy and stress-free for young people who don’t have an active income yet.
Why Students Need Smarter Spending Via Student Credit Cards
The card is loaded with features that promote safe and smart financial habits for students. For one thing, it provides students with controlled credit limits so they don’t overspend. Secondly, it has a 2-way transaction alert system that immediately sends SMS and email alerts to the student and the parent/guardian. The bank blocks high-risk categories like gambling and adult websites to protect young users. The card is also fully integrated with digital banking platforms, enabling students to pay tuition fees, buy books, purchase online subscriptions or manage their daily travel expenses without any hassle.
